too many things going on right from the get-go, with too many characters introduced. no smaller storylines to get you invested in the world and overall character interactions first

CGI/combat is kinda cheesy. It's like 2000s Power Rangers level of practical effects, plus an excessive amount of floaty attacks via wirework. It doesn't have any weight to it. The fights also constantly cut so you don't get the sense the characters are really fighting, it feels like fake camerawork.

The main character Xiao Se kinda doesn't do anything and his secret is revealed already to several characters by like episode 8. No intrigue at all. The Monk character Wu Xin is too prominent in the early episodes, only to disappear after the first arc. The hotheaded main character Lei Wu Jie is already strong and fairly respected so it feels like there's no room for growth.
